Fractions

Halfway through the second pink and green sock. On to the fourth quarter!

Halftime Report

Still working on the first pink and green sock. I've decided to go back to a longer heel flap, like I used to use on my socks, but had been getting lazy about more recently.

A Pair of Birds

Finally finished the second Macaw sock.

And I started a new pair, this time from Curiously Zen handpainted BFL, which has been stewing in my stash for many a year.

Folklife Festival

The stupendously hot weather of the past few weeks has kept me away from this year's Smithsonian folklife festival until now. Not that it was all that much cooler today, but it was the last day, so it was now or never. There was a display of mural in the "citified" section.

There were also plenty of interesting exhibits from various colleges. This explains how native Hawaiian sailors navigated:

It seemed really complicated. I'm glad I wasn't a native Hawaiian sailor. Here's a display of useful items made from buffalo:

There were holey cows like at Maryland Day, but there was an artificial one for practicing your milking skills.

My favorite bit was this big globe made from blue and white plastic bags.

Indian Summer

I spun some 2-ply in the color "Indian Summer"

This is Erica's chihuahua modelling the finished product. He's quite adorable, no?
